Teach Me, Mr. CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

EMBERDaisies in her hand, she looked around her room, pressuring her brain to come to any other conclusion but the one that was inevitably true. There was no one who could send her flowers out of the blue except Will and if it wasn't him then..."You're awake already?" Ruby groaned as she woke up for a few seconds, toppling back to sleep without seeking for an answer. That made Ember shake her head and focus back on reality. She gently placed the flowers in the jar on the bedside table and turned away to go and freshen up. She wanted to be early that day and make herself so busy that she wouldn't have to think about work the next day. She really did want to go to the exhibition but she decided going to the restaurant was also okay. She did want to see which place made him that passionate.Ember had to do all the work of the weekend in that one day before she could allow herself to truly relax. She put on her white baggy trousers and blue shirt with her brown sling bag. She put her ha

EMBERShe could see his face turn a little more curious but that's all she had to say. She smiled softly to pretend like she was kidding and started moving on to the next. But this time, he didn't follow her. He stood in his place and looked down as if deep in thought.Some distance would be better.A few minutes passed, Ember had shifted from Poseidon to Dionysus, and she was scanning the huge painting "The Birth of Venus". She couldn't explain the way everything felt. It was making her feel at peace but very enthusiastic at the same time. She loved that feeling. When finally Ember was no longer immersed in the art, she looked around slightly to see where Zaire was. She had expected to see him at a corner taking calls or not even in the room now that he wasn't following her, but she was proven wrong. He was still there but in the other sections. He didn't look all too interested in the exhibition until now that Ember was looking at him. He looked captivated.After that, Ember found h

EMBERHe had picked her up and he was carrying her silently up the stairs. She froze in her place, a little lost at what had happened as she held his shoulders, watching him as he looked straight ahead."You make no sense, you know that?" He murmured against his breath, his breath not even catching once that said how casual he was even after climbing that many stairs. Either he was really strong or he was just numb to everything."I'm okay, you can put me down. We are almost there too," she said, looking up at the floors above. They'd be there in just a couple more steps. She thought his grip would loosen but it tightened instead."I might as well let you go when we are there," he glanced a little at her before continuing to climb. She looked away immediately to hide her face. Then, in a minute, she felt him put her down. Her feet still a little strained from all that pressure but she was better, just afraid of sore feet the next morning. But now, she had other things to worry about.

RUBYShe thought she knew what she was doing when she tried to make notes out of the given blueprints and pdfs mailed to her. She had always been precise with her work but she never knew what it felt like to work outside the confinement of her apartment or her claustrophobic cubicle in the firm she worked back in LA.She had never really been subjected to working in such luxury or that much stress to do better. She loved the feeling, it gave her the thrill, especially knowing that she had people by her side.Literally.Because Ember had been sleeping for the past hour Ruby had been awake working. She snored and cuddled her blanket like she hadn't slept for days. She looked exhausted all these days too, she really had a lot of responsibilities to cater to so Ruby refused to wake her up before her own time.Suddenly, her phone lit up with a text and she tried to ignore it, but curiousity got the best of her. She picked up her phone to see the text from Bianca from the team but before she

EMBER"Can I kiss you?" Will asked, holding her hand and looking deep in her eyes with an expectant gaze. Even though she was enticed, she felt like her throat had dried up. She could feel a strange sense of hesitation resurfacing. She opened her mouth to say something but he spoke. "But before that, can I hold you?""Yes," she gave him a smile and nodded. Content, he stepped in closer and placed his hands around her waist, pulling her in. He looked at the view beyond her and then looked back into her eyes. Then his brow arched up."You're still prettier," he whispered against her neck, making her body loosen up into his arms. She didn't know what it felt like but her body was reacting to it. His hands on her waist, his breath against her neck, it all took her back to something very familiar and real."Liar," she whispered to him."I'd be a liar if I called you just beautiful because you're so much more than that. Every corner and inch of your face resounds beauty and elegance. You don
